Spammer accounts I haven't gotten to yet to delete. They are inactive so they can't post, I jsut haven't been able to get to them since I got back from worlds. No one kept track for an entire week while I was gone, average of 35 new accounts per day * 9 days = 315 new accounts. I'll get to them when I get free time. I try to glance thru and make sure the real ones get approved but they get missed fact of life.

Wish there was an easier way to mass delete, but unfortunately I have to go into the admin panel and put in the name of each account 1 by 1. Because some of them are obviously spammer accounts.

Not my call. I'd love to see it on a system like that or dragonfly, their spam account protection is killer.

Yeah we use smf for our club site and since upgrading it to the most recent version we have had no fake accounts get through. I've heard less spammers right programs for the lesser used forum software so maybe it would only be a matter of time, but at least it would work for now

There is, I put a mass delete mod on my forum. It's real simple to install and real easy to delete 50 people at a time. I'll see if I can find the link for the mod.
